BD continually strives to deliver quality products, improve our offerings to better serve our customers and help optimize multicolor flow experiments. To this extent, we have launched an initiative to improve the performance of BD Horizon Brilliant Violet 605 (BV605) Research Use Only (RUO) Antibody Reagents. The BD Horizon BV605 Reagents will start being manufactured through a new process that provides enhanced photostability along with equivalent or improved brightness. You can also expect to see more BV605 RUO specificities being launched as a result of this process change.


BD HorizonBV605 RUO Reagents, excluding BD OptiBuildReagents, will start to be manufactured via the new process beginning in September 2023. This change is expected to take 18–24 months to implement across the entire portfolio. As catalog numbers will not be changing, a product notice will temporarily be included with the reagent packaging as an indicator that the change has occurred for a particular catalog number.


What you can expect from the lots manufactured using the new process:

  • Enhanced photostability
  • Equivalent or improved brightness relative to the legacy process
  • No changes to the catalog number, specificity, clone or dye
  • A product notice will temporarily be included with the reagent packaging as an indication the change has occurred


See the product list below detailing which BD HorizonBV605 RUO Reagents have undergone the change. The table references the final lot made using the legacy manufacturing process and first lot produced through the new process.
